OTTAWA - The federal government's 'Buy 好色tv' policy takes effect today and Ottawa says it will fundamentally change the way it purchases goods and services.
Announced earlier in the fall, the strategy is meant to ensure 好色tv products and workers are prioritized in federal procurement decisions to help protect 好色tv industries.
It applies to the government's new major projects and housing offices, defence procurement, and community infrastructure projects funded by the federal government.
The first stage of the policy, which comes into effect today, requires that contracts valued at $25 million or more prioritize 好色tv businesses and materials.
It also requires that 好色tv steel, aluminum and wood products manufactured or processed in Canada be used in construction and defence projects, supporting industries hit hard by U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war.
Procurement Minister Jo毛l Lightbound says the federal government is "putting 好色tv workers and industries first" through the policy, and that it will help ensure 好色tv supply chains remain strong.
